    Angelo Lorenzetti (Trentino Itas Head Coach): "Our season opener in the CEV Champions League was a winning one and quite easy, but we know that from now on it will not always be like that because we will play three out of the remaining five matches of group D away, where it is never easy to pick up points and victories. Wednesday's game in the Czech Republic is important because Karlovarsko has already shown in the previous week in Poland that it is an uncomfortable opponent and I am sure they will play even better as they will have home court advantage. Our level of attention and determination will therefore have to be very high”.
